The OP points are the more hilarious possible... Did you really thinks Diablo III was developed with consoles in mind? Makes no sense... what Blizzard did is what everyother game (PC or console) was doing... archivments, easy gameplay, simple mechanics, etc. All the PC devs are doing that not because the consoles but because the hardcore fanbase is not enough to support these long dev ciclyes in the industry... so they need to do the better game for everybody and not only fans. And that reflects in sales and critical success... Diablo III is the most successful game in the franchise... could not be the best Diablo for the hardcore fans but it is the best Diablo for everybody else. The normal PC gamer is playing this game like a hell... I have non-hardcore gamers friends that are played more than 5 hours per day this game... this game goes to masses and Blizzard have a big smile in the face. Conspiracy theory is old trend... the companies makes the best for the overall for all gamers not only the tiny hardcore fanbase. Diablo III is one of the best games I ever played in my life. |
You're cherrypicking. The achievements one is understandable on your side, it's a trend in the industry, might as well pick up on it.
There are other points, like no skill points or number crunching.
Limiting skills to 4-5.
No runes and complex item mechanics.
Only 4 players max.
Narrow spaces.
I don't have time to play all the games and I haven't played D3 yet, my PC probs couldn't even run it, but the point is that the game may sell much better, but it becomes a lesser game in the process.
It's no surprise I've been harping at Nintendo for going after the $ and leaving other important aspects of gaming in the dust. I'm not a man of double-standards so I agree with the complaints here.
